The Berkeley Water Center takes a comprehensive approach to water resources research and management that reflects the conditions of the 21st Century: variable and uncertain supply, increasing demand and inadequate structural and institutional infrastructure. We seek to develop and demonstrate the application of new concepts, information and engineering technology and computational tools that serve diverse water interests.

The BWC is comprised of researchers from several UC Berkeley Colleges and Departments, including more than 70 faculty members with water-related expertise. Our interdisciplinary approach makes the Center the single integrated resource for water-related research on campus.
